When you play sports like football/soccer, you will get yourself dirty. But what if a player regarded as a genius is a neat freak who doesn’t want to get himself dirty? That’s the premise of Taku Sakamoto’s Cleanliness Boy! Aoyama-kun manga, and it’s getting itself a TV anime adaptation!

The announcement was made inside the pages of Young Jump magazine, with the series also resuming its serialization.

The manga centers on a handsome young soccer genius named Aoyama who is a Japan representative. His play style is “cleanliness.” He doesn’t tackle and doesn’t head the ball. If he’s doing a throw-in, he’ll only do it if he’s wearing gloves.

And you thought Attack on Titan’s Levi was a neat-freak… More details about this new anime will be revealed in the days ahead.
